Internal Redirect problem

[sderrick]

I'm using Internal Redirect to send large files. Here's my function:

def sendfile
@name = session[:jobname] + ".zip"
filename = "ublic/download/" + @name
headers["Location"] = filename
redirect_to(filename)
end

It works fine on Firefox but Safari and IE7 hang for a while and then say there is no document as that address?

Anybody else seen this issue? Is my code correct?

thanks,

Scott

Install wireshark and sniff the traffic see if you can find out anything.

It appears that Safari and IE choke on having spaces in the redirect address. Not to surprising. Firefox has no problem.

Rails must have a built in path tool to convert it to a safe href?

If the browser receive the redirect response, a external redirect is used, not internal redirect. Maybe you should try

def sendfile
@name = session[:jobname] + ".zip"
filename = "ublic/download/" + @name
headers["x-litespeed-Location"] = filename
end

Thanks,

I'll give it a go.
